looking for bibliography...

Larval Mass

Hello people! I´m new here, my name is Diana, I´m from Rio de Janeiro. I am studing VET to dedicate octopus care. Here in Brazil we don´t have materials. I´m really happy finding this forum, I didn´t expect this lucky! Anyway, I would like some help, I´m looking for any bibliography, any book (in english or spannish), names, anything, I´ll be grateful.
thanx a lot and sorry my english

Hi Diana. Could you be a little more specific. What sort of information are you looking for?

JBW's site, I recall, only lists papers/bibliography for which he has pdf files (all others are not listed); as such the papers referred to online (there) are usually relatively recent. I remember reading this a year-or-so ago, so it certainly is not an exhaustive listing of papers/publications.

If there is something that you are particularly interested in then say so here and we'll try and compile something for you.
Cheers
Steve

Oh guys, thanx! Thank you very very much!!! I´m not exaggerating, this forum is for me a paradise , because here we don´t have neither 8% of what you have. I´m really glad to read all your answers and to see all this attention for help me. I´m reading the works/articles step by step, "a little bit" slowly because my "perfect" English. I will explain what I really want for my studings, I only have to put in words, and in English... But until now, I found so many text about octopus thanx of you.

Do you know any books that are about physiology, health, behavior, feeding, biology and history of octopus? My search, here in Brazil called "Monografia", ist like a final exam that each student have to do to have the graduation . We have to choose a subject and write about it, in 30/45 pages , using books, scientific magazines, sites, maybe programs (I have some tapes about that I recorded from Discovery Channel and National Geographyc Channel), on the last page we have to put all the bibliography used to make this work. In my case that is about Octopus, I have to do a large profile. I don´t know if I was clare . I´ll improve by the time, and explain better for you. Now, I am almoust "cross-eyed" because are so many subjects to read that I don´t know where begin.

There's a book that's old, but I found to be very interesting by M.J. Wells titled Octopus: Physiology and Behaviour of an Advanced Invertebrate but it's out of print (published in 1978) If you can find it in a library or something, though, you might find it useful.

Is there a chance that books in English, be printet or published in all countries that the language is English? For example, a book published in Canada, have chances of be published in Australia? Because I have an uncle in AUS, I will ask for help if its possible find all this books there.... Oh, my English is terrible sorry...

Larval Mass

Yeah, I´ll try everything, thanxs a lot!
I sent an email to my uncle about the books.
Everything about octopus, for me, is profit :P
Yesterday, Discovery Channel transmited the "Complite Guide - Octopus".
